SunMC 3.5u1 to 3.6 Upgrade

The errors seem to indicate the Oracle backend is unreachable.

I assume at this point, that 3.6 is installed, and this was the first run for the setup immediately following the installation.

Possibly there are some more clues in the installation logs in /var/lopt/SUNWsymon/. Somwhere there is a log with the date/PID as part of the name. Perhaps something went wrong during the install prior to the setup.

Were you able to stop your 3.5u1 cleanly before the upgrade?

IMHO, I bet that would break, as there have apparently been some changes to the db; Could be worth a try.

I would be more inclined to do a fresh install of 3.5u1, a restore of your DB, shut it down cleanly and attempt the upgrade again.

In your current state, it may be easier to figure out why the Oracle is not responding; Get that process back up and continue with the configuration.

Here is my running oracle process list for 3.6

You should be able to su - smcorau and start it manually, and get some debug output for a failure if it is not running. The tnslsnr process is clearly listed. I wish I knew more about Oracle..

Maybe some silly state info, lockfile or diskspace permission/free space issue is preventing it from starting up. You haven't mangled/restored your /etc/passwd or turned on NIS or something that might mess with the smcorau user?
